I hate my bank. After 20 odd years they want to charge me a monthly fee of $25. I have direct deposits and auto pay everything from that account! Including my mortgage which they hold. If I have to do all the work to shift to a 'free checking' account might as well move to a different cash cartel.

With the cooler temps and rains, my lawn is starting to green up pretty good. I think I will have to cut it this week.

This was the first summer of my life, and I'm 60, that I recall cutting the grass so little. I think I cut it about 4-5 times this spring, and the front only once all summer, and that was it. Normally its once a week, from May through October, which is over 20 weeks.....Sooo, about 1/4 of the normal lawn cutting this year. Rivers are super low!

Something tells me we will be getting many, many snowstorms this winter!!! Moisture amounts almost always average out around here, over the course of the year.

I feel the same.....just depends on how the moisture and temperature roll in :blsmoke:


For everyone that's not mowing as much this year........lucky! I mowed 3 days ago and need to again. The heat slowed it down, but not much.

Periwinkle aka March of Death is the ground cover of choice for me. Drought resistant. Low growing. Invasive plant. Covers a slope so I don't have to mow. Started with 2 cuttings long ago. Now I get a spectacular show of purple flowers in the spring.

They’ve been begging people to go natural here. Idk but I think the guberment may even give you ground cover plants that don’t drink and drive. I’d love to have a couple acres of clover.
Do you get bees and butterflies? Wife’s sister and nephew raise honeybees and she has a large butterfly garden.

I have a fairly steep bank in front of my house, approx. 25' tall and 100' long that I have toyed with planting in Periwinkle / Myrtle. It is too steep to mow. I usually weed wack it once mid spring, and spray it with Roundup and it keeps it "clean" most of the season....Parts of it are just starting to green back up, and there are several trees so it looks natural without grass....But it would look nicer covered in green and flowers!!

Bunnies munch on the clover in my lawn. Dragonflies clean up the mosquitoes.
